Last Radiation

Today was my last radiation treatment. My last one. Finally! I am so glad to not have to drive back to the medical center every single day now. I'm feeling very crispy (from the radiation burns). And happy. 

I got to ring the bell and I brought Brian and the kids along with me. 

It was emotional. It's been a long time since treatments started with chemo back in January, staring at that damn bell, hoping to ring it and that it will truly signal the end of cancer in my body and my life. 

I'm happy that treatments are over but the worry has really kicked in too. Worry that it will come back or that it's lurking in there somewhere growing now that I'm not having treatment to fight it off anymore. I just keep praying that I will stay cancer free. And try to not worry. 

I got an end of radiation certificate too. :-)

Now on to heal from the radiation. The doctor told me tonight that my burns will get worse before they start to heal. So hopefully within the next 10-14 days the healing process will begin. The worst burn is in the middle of my chest, but I am also burned under my arm, on my back, neck, chest, and pretty bad on my mastectomy scar. 

Like I said, I'm feeling very crispy these days. 

Thank you for praying with me and for me and my family. We truly appreciate it!
